Cyclists rock the block!




Still not convinced that cyclists have the most fun? Then you should take a good look at the photos from Bike Pro Centre's year-end (2006) party on December 30th. We not only had two bands in the shop (no bikes were harmed or harassed to accommodate them!), they had various cool guests to help them rock the block, too! There was the Band With No Name playing classic rock from the '60s and '70s ('Sunshine Of Your Love', 'Hey Joe', 'Cocaine' etc.) in a loose, stretch-the-blooze style, with a little help from friends (Paul of Paul's Place, Lohan et al) and fellow bikers. Equally impressive were The Inner Tubes, comprising members of PCC, who adeptly showcased such tunes as 'Summertime' and 'Wonderful Tonight'. Roadie Zub thrilled the crowd stylishly with a finger-picked version of Eric Clapton's 'Tears In Heaven' and some mean blues. But it was the gals who stole the thunder from the boys. Mountain biker Eja strapped on a Telecaster to deliver a cool version of the Cranberries' 'Linger'; Jasmine rousingly belted out three numbers including the Four Non Blondes' 'What's Up'; and Maya sat in on drums and wowed the crowd with her infectious verve. There was plenty to eat (satay and pizza) and drink, and a great deal of fun was had by the audience, many of them BPC's most loyal supporters. Boy, cyclists sure know how to party!

A bike fit for James Bond!



The folks at Bike mag think that Scott's Ransom LTD is the kind of high-zoot full-boinger special agent 007 would be proud to jump on for some trail-blazing action. As they put it: "If James Bond ever swung a leg over a mountain bike, it would have to be the Scott Ransom LTD. The carbon fibre frame boasts as much technology as any gadget ever created by officer Q of the British Secret Service. Just imagine communist diamond smugglers trying to escape through rough alpine singletrack. Bond would surely jump cyclocross style onto the Ransom -- tuxedo and all -- flip the handlebar-mounted switch from locked out to the full 165 millimeters of rear travel and blast down an exposed ridgeline, drifting through corners as fist-sized rocks fall hundreds of feet into the trailside abyss. The communists would be aboard Russian titanium hardtails; there'd be no escaping Bond." Convinced? Then ring us at 603-78051989 to book your Bond-worthy Ransom LTD. Review (PDF) / Ransom LTD specs

Cedric Gracia, Team Commencal rider

Downhill and four cross are his specialties -- he's currently 5th and 3rd, respectively, in the UCI World Rankings. Gracia rode for the Rainer-Wurz Siemens Cannondale team between 1999 and 2005, and joined the Commencal (pronounced 'commen-sawl') team in 2006.

Scott's new Spark features cutting-edge technology



According to BIKEmagic, Scott have "been refining and developing [their] carbon fibre manufacturing processes for a long time, and the Spark is built using a new technology called the Integrated Moulding Process" that "results in a very light frame" with a claimed weight of 1.8kg with the rear shock. Also, "the Spark features what Scott [call] HMX fibres in high-stress areas alongside the same HMF material found in the Scale and other Scott carbon bikes". Even the dropouts and cable stops are made from carbon fibre. More / Ring 603-78051989 for price and availability now!
